AFX Accelerates Global Expansion with Industry Veteran Ken C Leading Growth
Ken has over nine years of experience in traditional finance, Web3 and emerging AI technologies. He began his career leading digital product projects at HSBC and DBS Bank before moving into the crypto sector, where he held senior roles at OKX, Animoca Brands and several startups. His experience spans ecosystem growth, business development, product strategy, and AI-driven innovation.
His arrival comes at a crucial time for AFX, following the successful launch of its mainnet and the continued expansion of its decentralized derivatives ecosystem.
“As blockchain trading infrastructure matures, we believe the next wave of adoption will come from traders seeking both performance and sovereignty,” says Ken C. “AFX is uniquely positioned to bridge this gap by offering enterprise-grade trading infrastructure while preserving the transparency and self-management of assets that characterize decentralized finance. I am excited to help bring this vision to an international audience. »
As Head of Growth, Ken will lead global trader acquisition efforts, ecosystem partnerships, community development and strategic business development initiatives. It will focus in particular on attracting seasoned traders, market makers and ecosystem partners, while strengthening AFX’s presence in major global markets.

This protocol combines low-latency execution, institutional-grade trading infrastructure, and on-chain transparency to create a new category of trading-focused blockchain architecture.
“The growth of the crypto sector ultimately depends on trust, participation and cohesion of the ecosystem,” adds Ken. “Our goal is not just to attract users, but to grow a global community of traders who actively help shape the future of decentralized markets. »
This announcement demonstrates AFX’s overall commitment to building a sustainable, community-aligned ecosystem as the protocol continues to expand its product suite, liquidity network, and user base globally.
